Joint MA and MBA Program

Joint MA/MBA Degree Requirements

The Kogod School of Business and the School of International Service (SIS) jointly offer dual graduate programs.

These programs offer students the opportunity to combine solid business skills with an expertise in international studies - a particularly valuable benefit as businesses adjust to the global market, and international organizations are asked to increase productivity through better business practices.

The joint MBA and MA degree program requires acceptance by both Kogod and SIS. The MA can be earned in one of the following areas of study:

International Affairs

International Communication

International Development

International Peace and Conflict Resolution

Global Environmental Policy

and an MBA/MS in Development Management

Dual degree students within Kogod have full access to all resources available to MBA and MS degree students.
